First off you guys have a great company with great products and excellent customer service. I just can't wrap my head around this.

The 3.5ML Vivi Novas are 13.95 and come with 3 heads (never any problems a great vape)

Extra heads can be bought for 2.95

The 2.5 ML Mini Vivi Novas are 10.95 and come with 1 head (have been eagerly anticipating their arrival)

Extra heads can also be bought for 2.95

So it seems to me that it is a lot better value for the 3.5 ML = Holds 1ML more liquid and basically paying for 2 heads and getting 1 free.

According to website info no other differences that I can see. Maybe I missed them.

Someone else mentioned this and got this reply from Chris

(yes we decided tog o with the 1 head so we can keep prices lower in the long run)


Which is something else I can't seem to understand.

The Nova 3.5ml comes as a package deal for us and therefore for our customers. The Mini Nova does not. Its not altogether a situation where simple math works on it. Besides which you receive three varied heads on Nova whether you prefer to have that or not. Its a decision you have to decide for yourself.

The manufacturing costs are basically the same for both. 3.5ml versus 2.5ml: many actually prefer a more streamlined tube, bigger isn't always better in every case, with the 3.5 unit you have a bulkier tank on, lets say, an eGo or some such...

I think the minis will actually work better for folks like me. Much as I love the big tank, I end up wasting juice in it, since I love switching flavors. The mini comes right between the Stardust and the big tank, volume-wise, and it's probably a perfect size for me when I want a tank.

Well, you don't have to fill the Nova all the way up, just put in 2 mil or so :).

Seriously, I like the way the nova looks on the chrome LT I got, but I think I like the look of the Stardust 2.0's on the twists. The stardusts look prety cool on the chrome LT too, a coworker said it looked like a multi-stage rocket :).

I'll probably order one or two to check out. I understand what Dan is saying about pricing and I'm OK with it, and figured that was probably the case, but I guess I assumed that it was coming in a package like the big one, so I was a bit disappointed. It makes it harder for me to decide whether to stick with the stardusts 2.0's and get more big novas, or go with the mini novas.

These only just came out last night so no one has one on hand to take pics of, sorry Super Dave!

As for dripping (Ctor), I really just love my Phoenixes and what not. I don't really like to fool with dripping. I realize that it's probably the same amount of work, but I have a block about it I guess :laugh: A half ml is probably an underestimate, though. Probably closer to 1ml.

Does anyone have a pic of the mini on say a ego battery or some other 510 small device? I'd like to see what it looks like on something like this.

OH, I just saw a pic with the new ego type c or d thread cone for both lg and small tanks. Looks great, gonna get me some. Thanks:p
